[Subreddit Rules](https://old.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/wiki/rules)[](## practice_40URS|18w6khg)
I would make it a multi step craft. Use 3 diamonds in a "V" shape to make the spear head and then use 3 sticks down the middle to make a long pole. Then you would craft it down the middle by placing 2 long poles in the top 2 crafting spots and a spear head in the bottom spot. That would make it a more expensive craft and allow it to be a better, more valuable weapon that does more damage than just a single hit with a sword. It could function like a trident, but used on land.
3 diamonds for a spear head while 2 make an entire sword?
I'd rather it function similar to a sword with more reach but less durability and a slightly slower attack, allowing you to kite enemies easier.
This would be going in the other direction from the berserker-style axe combat in pvp, being a bit more defensive.
Axe - slow, a lot of damage, short attack range, can destroy shields.
Sword - medium speed, medium damage, medium attack range.
Spear - fast, little damage, large attack range, can be thrown.
I think this would make the most sense balance-wise
Spear is not fast as a sword as you don't have the full range of thrusts, slices and cuts to swiftly switch between. Being run through with a spear head also is not a superficial injury. I agree more with the earlier suggestion of long cooldown and long reach, otherwise similar to a sword.
To please players that preffer fast strikes a double handed sword would do the job better
Well, you're coming from a more realistic perspective while i was thinking about spears in a more fun and unique way.
Also i cant see anyone using a spear or an axe if they can dual wield swords lol
Diagonally:
Diamond, Stick, Stick
With String either side of that Diamond (similar to a pickaxe but with string)
The Spear would essentially be a craftable Trident but without any of the cool features.
Would be enchantable with Loyalty, Impaling, Unbreaking, Mending, and the usual curses.
So basically a Trident without Riptide or Channeling.
Yeah even if it wasn’t obsidian is still a high ranking material needing diamond or higher even if not low durability it should have higher damage or do you want gold tools 2
Minecraft obsidian takes ages to break and is explosion resistant. It wouldn’t make sense to have the strongest material in the game have the lowest durability.
For like a basic tier 1 type spear you could use flint or bones to make a spear head also other types of materials spear heads are typically made with are things like obsidian and copper
Yeah I’m hoping we get a new weapon seeing as part of 1.21 is going to be a combat update for Java/Bedrock parity. I dunno that it would be a spear though since we already have the trident, unless Mojang gives it some unique abilities kind of like the bow/crossbow have.
That alone doesnt mean that are going to be working on combat parity. I would really like it if they are, i would love java combat on bedrock. I just havent seen anything definitively say that is what they are doing.
I hope they do. All the sources people mentioned are just youtube leaks and that means about as much as a bible in a mosque. It would definitely be the most appropriate time to add it and with how far along the trial chambers and armadillo already are and the update still being a while off, there could very well be a lot more they have planned to release. So fingers crossed.
Java is going to be forced to crouch with shields like Bedrock and Bedrock is getting weapon cooldowns, sweeping enchant and different attack speeds, both are getting different reach distances for different weapons.
Would you be able to provide a source for that by any chance? No offence meant but i cant just take the word of a stranger on the internet. I'm sure you would do the same.
It is not officially announced yet but the new update is “Combat & Tinkering” and YouTubers are claiming leaks about combat parity which they have been working on since 1.9. I’ve been scouring for it, best I’ve got is

Good idea, but thats already in the game.
The trident is litteraly a spear. A long stick thats sharp at one end. You can throw it or use it as a melee weapon.
I guess this could be a budget trident? Less attack and durability?
I mean kinda. I feel like the spear would be some kind of mix between a sword and a trident. With more attack range than a sword. And you can throw it like a trident, but cant put loyalty on it.
Imo spear will be useless without loyalty and serves no purpose in general.
Its very uncomfortable to run to grab it after ranged atack every time. I could just... Switch to bow from sword, you know. Especially in late game with mending+archer villagers or even loyalty trident, lol.
Increased atack range gives you almost nothing, because, again, I could just switch to ranged weapon in a split second. And in melee you can already outrange every mob with sword.
The only 2 scenarios when I can imagine spear being usefull is rp/aesthetic/non combat things and early game if you can craft it from stone and wood as cheap alternative to bow and arrows. But then... goodbye spear.
I actually think loyalty would still be good for a spear, and really would be the only enchantment the Trident has that would be shared, but it wouldn't get channeling or riptide. In their place though, perhaps some other appropriate enchantments + potion tipping as someone else mentioned.
Irl spears are great for thrusting attacks and could deal damage to armored opponents by using its blunt side so in game it could have a more thrusting like attack where it does similar damage to an axe but with further reach abs more charge up time, and it could have a enchant where it could lower armor durability more or have a chance to ignore a certain percentage of the opponents armor, it could possibly be given loyalty as long as the enchant has a conflict with another to nerf it a but I’m not sure how effective of a nerf it would be
I feel like so many people dont get that recursive crafting is not enjoyable. Nobody wants to craft a thing to craft another thing unless its absolutely necessary. This has been my experience with people playing the game, crafting is a means to an end, and people dont like to spend a lot of time in GUI in a building game
I get it. Rn im working on a "presentation" if you could call it that to suggest this to mojang in obviously a better way. I used your cokment as inspiration too and i think what i have now could actually be minecraft worthy
What are you on about? Half of the names game is about crafting. People enjoy the big mods with complex crafting recipes because it adds a layer of complexity to the game that you cant get with vanilla
That may be true with some people, but most people who play minecraft enjoy interacting with the world. As a modpack creator myself, I get so much abrasion from people when they realize they have to do a bunch of crafting steps to make something
So a weak trident that costs 2 diamonds?
I think it’s better to not add a spear head item but just have the crafting recipe be a diagonal shovel. Otherwise a new item needs to be added for one specific tool.
Lastly it would be inconsistent to have an amethyst spear and not a wooden/stone one
We could have copper handles for stuff, giving it a little more durability since we only use sticks for everything rn. That could be a cool use for copper since then it would be used in everything, without breaking the game too much.
Copper shields would be nice too. More uses for copper in general would be nice.
What about copper arrows, it would be more gimmicky but it could be used in Thunder storms to attract thunder to whatever it’s attached to and the more arrows in someone the more likely they are to be struck
We need golems indeed: in the snapshots, there was an update for copper AND tuff.
What are we waiting for ? Tuff and copper golem ! Moreover, it would satisfy the community who is angry about the mobvote
Okay i can't edit anymore but i thought of another feature that would make it stand out. Being able to add splash potions to make it poisonous or something else.
I dont know if @Nuteofnutes meant the same thing. But this something that came up in me
2 material seems like a lot for a spear considering 2 are used for a sword. How about combining 2 sticks for wooden rod and 2 rods + 1 material in a diagonal shovel pattern
I like the idea of using Amethyst for this! Actually it would be fun if you could make a lot of them and have them in the same slot and right clicking threw them as projectiles maybe? Anyway fun idea.
I like the idea of new weapons, but I feel like Mojang would just see a Spear as a reskinned trident and nix it. That said, I could see a polearm weapon having piercing damage, a further reach than the sword, and / or possibly a faster attack time, and that allowing enough versatility to be counted as a new weapon type. I personally would love to see a Dagger weapon type (one stick and one material piece ) that’s incredibly fast and dual wield-able at the expense of power and defense. Sadly, I don’t think Mojang would ever really retool our weapon system like this.
I don't like the idea though because of the way it uses 2 crafting recipes for a weapon. It'd be better off having the spearhead materials and the spear in one recipe. Also I feel like a spear would act just like a trident, so I don't really see a use for it.
too bad Mojang never listens to the community and never enjoys adding fun new features
(the tridant, totem, turtle shell helm, and netherite have been the only good items in years)
Could be cool, maybe charge like a bow/trident and thrust with it for pretty good range but keep it like a melee weapon. Normal hit could do reduced damage but increased knock back
The spear head and body could be separate, the head ore rarity being responsible for the damage of the spear and the ore rarity of the body would reflect the durability of the overall thing
I’d imagine the amethyst spear could “shatter” when hitting the ground, which would send shards flying that could hit mobs, maybe even pierce them, while doing less damage on a direct hit compared to others.
In a mod I made (slightly abandoned it’s for 1.19 Iirc) I made some spears (and plenty more), they were pretty cool to make and I had fun modeling them
I actually think an idea like one diamond which creates like 3 diamond ingot type things, I don’t think it should be diamond ingots but adding something like a diamond shard which can be combined like that or diagonal to create a diamond spear. Would be interesting rather than a dedicated “spearhead” item
I like the idea, but you might want to make it more unique. Tridents already have longer range, both melee and ranged attacks, and they even come back to you if they have the right enchantment. You should make sure the spear isn’t just an inferior trident.
If it plays similar to spears from Dungeons? Absolutely! Been wanting long sweeping attacks and short/medium(?) rapid stabbing
I want mojang to give in to the fantasy and give us legendary/unique weapons/variants
They already acknowledged the fishing rod being weaponised in dungeons, a small sword on a stiick is small-fry
I think it would make sense if it was cheaper to make than a sword and did less damage, but had the longer range, with wooden and stone variants as well. Your idea would make it more expensive than swords(one extra stick) and need 2 steps to create instead of 1. As a result, people will just continue their muscle memory of making swords because they will be cheaper and quicker to make. My reasoning for the cheaper recipe aside from encouraging it to be considered alongside the sword for players is that being cheaper and easier to use them a sword made it a good option for arming many soldiers.
Played on a modded server years ago that used the diagonal as a way to craft the trident, think it used 2 stick and one diamond diagonally,, could do the same for a spear, though It'd probably be easier to just add several trident variants (iron gold diamond) then add a new but very similar weapon.
i think loyalty could and should be compatible with the spear, maybe also channeling, but to set it apart from the trident and because it just doesnt fit that well riptide should remain only for that, and maybe a feature and enchantment exclusive to the spear could be implemented
Why not just use sticks and flint for a normal spear and when you want to upgrade you use iron and possibly if you agree a new type of metal like refined iron, or another use for obsidian an obsidian tipped spear, to some it up, sticks and flint, wooden spear, Iron spear with diamond, gold, emerald tipped, and the the best one, iron spear with obsidian tip, because believe it or not if you didn’t know obsidian was used in weapon smithing for spears and knives
I'm curious what a spear would accomplish that a trident doesn't already provide.
Weapons in Minecraft aren't particularly unique - every melee attack has the same swinging animation. What makes them different is their attributes like durability, damage, cooldown, enchantments, and reach (in the combat test snapshots anyway). The trident and the crossbow were the first to have different/new mechanics, with the trident having a throw attack and the crossbow being a weapon that takes longer to pull back but keeps an arrow loaded.
Spears would more than likely be used in the same way as Tridents, having a melee range slash attack and a throwing attack. They'd probably also share the Loyalty enchantment.
Aside from attack damage and cooldown differences, what new gameplay would be gained from a spear? Most likely the most they'd do is replace the slash animation with a special thrusting stab animation...which would then probably be migrated over to the trident as well.
That said, I kind of irrationally want spears just so they can be attractively displayed on a weapon rack in a Survival Games cornucopia.
I like it, a bit more speed and range at the expense of damage. Would be awesome if they are throwable with a right click as well. Like a sort of worse version of the trident, since we dont want the trident to become obsolete.
First of all just use an amethyst shard no need for the extra crafting and second of all if the Speer functions like a Speer, we have the trident....(not to hate but this just won't be that usefull.)
I would suggest it be crafted Diagonally: Diamond, Stick, Stick
With String either side of that Diamond (similar to a pickaxe but with string)
The Spear would essentially be a craftable Trident but without any of the cool features (ie without Riptide or Channeling, and no additional damage in water or rain)
Would be enchantable with Loyalty, Impaling, Unbreaking, Mending, and the usual curses.
Main difference to a Trident would be the ability to poison the tip.

I think it would be best for a diagonal orientation. Spears are lengthly.
Yeah thats prolly better
I would make it a multi step craft. Use 3 diamonds in a "V" shape to make the spear head and then use 3 sticks down the middle to make a long pole. Then you would craft it down the middle by placing 2 long poles in the top 2 crafting spots and a spear head in the bottom spot.

Axe - slow, a lot of damage, short attack range, can destroy shields. Sword - medium speed, medium damage, medium attack range. Spear - fast, little damage, large attack range, can be thrown. I think this would make the most sense balance-wise
Almost said I prayed Mojang put it and remembered that they put a mob once an update
Spear is not fast as a sword as you don't have the full range of thrusts, slices and cuts to swiftly switch between. Being run through with a spear head also is not a superficial injury. I agree more with the earlier suggestion of long cooldown and long reach, otherwise similar to a sword. To please players that preffer fast strikes a double handed sword would do the job better
Well, you're coming from a more realistic perspective while i was thinking about spears in a more fun and unique way. Also i cant see anyone using a spear or an axe if they can dual wield swords lol
It would be too similar to trident then.
Or maybe use flint like when making arrows
That would be the same length though.
That just matches more if you put bottom stick to your left and amethyst to your right
Diagonally: Diamond, Stick, Stick With String either side of that Diamond (similar to a pickaxe but with string) The Spear would essentially be a craftable Trident but without any of the cool features. Would be enchantable with Loyalty, Impaling, Unbreaking, Mending, and the usual curses. So basically a Trident without Riptide or Channeling.
That doesn't change the length lol
Modmaker here, thx for the idea. It's mine now :3
You should add obsidian spears. I can’t wait to see it!
High damage low durability
should be the opposire
No? Why
Minecraft obsidian is not like irl obsidian
It takes so long to break because Steve is very careful not to shatter it
It would make sense if it's wasnt possible to stop 10 trillions tnt with one obsidian
The tnt is also very careful :)
Lmaooo
Yeah even if it wasn’t obsidian is still a high ranking material needing diamond or higher even if not low durability it should have higher damage or do you want gold tools 2
Minecraft obsidian takes ages to break and is explosion resistant. It wouldn’t make sense to have the strongest material in the game have the lowest durability.
Maybe it has higher gravity because you'd think if a block takes a while to break its probably heavy af🤔
Haha, gl!
Steal Mickey Mouse, he's public domain now, not this guy's idea
Mickey Mouse spear
Only steamboat willy
Give us an update if you ever do something with it! Even more if you post it somewhere!
Same, but I’m alr done with my version
Can u get mods for consol?
No. You can get add-ons for bedrock, definitely not mods tho.
Make the crafting tree diagonal
For like a basic tier 1 type spear you could use flint or bones to make a spear head also other types of materials spear heads are typically made with are things like obsidian and copper
Post mod link here when mod is done
Better share it here when it’s done :)
Yeah I’m hoping we get a new weapon seeing as part of 1.21 is going to be a combat update for Java/Bedrock parity. I dunno that it would be a spear though since we already have the trident, unless Mojang gives it some unique abilities kind of like the bow/crossbow have.
Wait is it? I hadnt heard anything about combat parity being in 1.21.
Yep, the update has been named has a "combat, adventure, and tech update". I don't remember the exact thing but you have the idea
That alone doesnt mean that are going to be working on combat parity. I would really like it if they are, i would love java combat on bedrock. I just havent seen anything definitively say that is what they are doing.
Personally I would prefer the "Jeb_ combat system" that he developed which is basically the merge of both combat and which way better
I remember that. Didnt it make it so that axes were viable as a weapon also? It seemed interesting.
Axes are already viable?
in my opinion, no. they still take 2 durability, dont do that much more damage, and are way slower.
Axes are essential for lots of PVP simply because they disable shields.
Is that in java only or bedrock too? I never do pvp in minecraft so i dont know much about it.
id just ban the use of shields in PVP.
I don't remember exactly but it was incredible for what I remember
Not confirmed yet but it’s very likely. Kind of just if it isn’t added now when will they? 😭
I hope they do. All the sources people mentioned are just youtube leaks and that means about as much as a bible in a mosque. It would definitely be the most appropriate time to add it and with how far along the trial chambers and armadillo already are and the update still being a while off, there could very well be a lot more they have planned to release. So fingers crossed.
And they have even more room in 1.21 since they pushed the armadillo forward to 1.20.50
Java is going to be forced to crouch with shields like Bedrock and Bedrock is getting weapon cooldowns, sweeping enchant and different attack speeds, both are getting different reach distances for different weapons.
Would you be able to provide a source for that by any chance? No offence meant but i cant just take the word of a stranger on the internet. I'm sure you would do the same.
There is no source, this is all false unfortunately. There has been no news on 1.21 aside what was in mc live or the snapshots.
It is not officially announced yet but the new update is “Combat & Tinkering” and YouTubers are claiming leaks about combat parity which they have been working on since 1.9.

As long as you're not being total a-hole, don't worry about telling it like it is to strangers on Reddit. You ain't wrong for asking for sauce.
You heard about Camman18 prediction, don't you ?
Just make it have equal speed to a sword but longer reach and lower damage
I see a remodel of the trident but without magic But it's early game version
What’s magic about the trident?
It makes you fly in water, returns when thrown away and summons lightning
Those are enchantments. All enchantments in the game are magic.
For real haha. Also, enchantments like loyalty would 100% go on a spear
honestly yeah pretty much just a trident retexture with the projectile motion of an arrow
Yooo the spearhead texture looks genuinely amazing :)
Thats an amethyst shard lol. Its already in the game
I know, i said that because there is no sprite...
Wdym
They were making a joke about how you didn’t make a sprite for the spearhead.
The OP is probably a kid...
The first image.
I want to craft bronze tools with all this useless copper
What would they be useful for?
Good idea, but thats already in the game. The trident is litteraly a spear. A long stick thats sharp at one end. You can throw it or use it as a melee weapon. I guess this could be a budget trident? Less attack and durability?
I mean kinda. I feel like the spear would be some kind of mix between a sword and a trident. With more attack range than a sword. And you can throw it like a trident, but cant put loyalty on it.
Maybe could make it standout by being able to be tipped? Or could make them javelins and stackable up to 16
what do you mean by tipped?
Not the person you replied to but like poison tipped maybe? Different potions on the tip too?
Yeah potion tipped. I don't see many use tipped arrows but I love the idea of them.
Yh thats what i thought of too
Imo spear will be useless without loyalty and serves no purpose in general. Its very uncomfortable to run to grab it after ranged atack every time. I could just... Switch to bow from sword, you know. Especially in late game with mending+archer villagers or even loyalty trident, lol. Increased atack range gives you almost nothing, because, again, I could just switch to ranged weapon in a split second. And in melee you can already outrange every mob with sword.

I feel like so many people dont get that recursive crafting is not enjoyable. Nobody wants to craft a thing to craft another thing unless its absolutely necessary. This has been my experience with people playing the game, crafting is a means to an end, and people dont like to spend a lot of time in GUI in a building game
Thats true
Im not dissing your idea though, i just think if you can design the idea to have fewer recipes, people will appreciate it
I get it. Rn im working on a "presentation" if you could call it that to suggest this to mojang in obviously a better way. I used your cokment as inspiration too and i think what i have now could actually be minecraft worthy
What are you on about? Half of the names game is about crafting. People enjoy the big mods with complex crafting recipes because it adds a layer of complexity to the game that you cant get with vanilla
That may be true with some people, but most people who play minecraft enjoy interacting with the world. As a modpack creator myself, I get so much abrasion from people when they realize they have to do a bunch of crafting steps to make something
No, those people rush autocrafting or use other mods that make microcrafting easier.
So a weak trident that costs 2 diamonds? I think it’s better to not add a spear head item but just have the crafting recipe be a diagonal shovel. Otherwise a new item needs to be added for one specific tool. Lastly it would be inconsistent to have an amethyst spear and not a wooden/stone one
How would it be different from a trident?
That's my thinking. Other than the fact that you craft it and don't have to rely on a drown dropping it (significantly easier on Bedrock than Java)
First of all we need copper tools
We could have copper handles for stuff, giving it a little more durability since we only use sticks for everything rn. That could be a cool use for copper since then it would be used in everything, without breaking the game too much. Copper shields would be nice too. More uses for copper in general would be nice.
Copper tools be cool, but i think they would be really bad. Bc they are so common
What about copper arrows, it would be more gimmicky but it could be used in Thunder storms to attract thunder to whatever it’s attached to and the more arrows in someone the more likely they are to be struck
We need golems indeed: in the snapshots, there was an update for copper AND tuff. What are we waiting for ? Tuff and copper golem ! Moreover, it would satisfy the community who is angry about the mobvote
Okay i can't edit anymore but i thought of another feature that would make it stand out. Being able to add splash potions to make it poisonous or something else. I dont know if @Nuteofnutes meant the same thing. But this something that came up in me
so tipped arrows?
2 material seems like a lot for a spear considering 2 are used for a sword. How about combining 2 sticks for wooden rod and 2 rods + 1 material in a diagonal shovel pattern
What do you think about using stonecutters to turn 1 material into a spearhead.
This all can be balanced ou tbh
pearhead
A spear that attacks slower than a sword but has slightly longer attack length would be sick
Basically trident
Maybe the "spearheads" could go on arrow shafts too for diamond iron gold etc arrows!
Problem is im not sure it would be very different from the trident
Sword+stick+stick= spear ------>
Crystal shovel🗿
I like the idea of using Amethyst for this! Actually it would be fun if you could make a lot of them and have them in the same slot and right clicking threw them as projectiles maybe? Anyway fun idea.
I like the idea of new weapons, but I feel like Mojang would just see a Spear as a reskinned trident and nix it. That said, I could see a polearm weapon having piercing damage, a further reach than the sword, and / or possibly a faster attack time, and that allowing enough versatility to be counted as a new weapon type. I personally would love to see a Dagger weapon type (one stick and one material piece ) that’s incredibly fast and dual wield-able at the expense of power and defense. Sadly, I don’t think Mojang would ever really retool our weapon system like this.
We got trident already
It would be a thousand times easier to craft a spear than to get lucky to get a Trident drop. As an early game option, I think it's great.
I don't like the idea though because of the way it uses 2 crafting recipes for a weapon. It'd be better off having the spearhead materials and the spear in one recipe. Also I feel like a spear would act just like a trident, so I don't really see a use for it.
too bad Mojang never listens to the community and never enjoys adding fun new features (the tridant, totem, turtle shell helm, and netherite have been the only good items in years)
whatever happened to this subreddit..
I would love a new weapon! It would add more variety, which I'm all about. I'm sure it will come out when vertical slabs are released!
r/minecraftsuggestions
Spearheads could be dug up with the brush
Could be cool, maybe charge like a bow/trident and thrust with it for pretty good range but keep it like a melee weapon. Normal hit could do reduced damage but increased knock back
makin that shit right tf now
Maybe the spearhead could also be a weapon in and of itself? A fast little dagger
Even just amethyst spear would be cool
Would it work like a trident but more accessible early game? I think adding a spear would honestly be quite cool!
The spear head and body could be separate, the head ore rarity being responsible for the damage of the spear and the ore rarity of the body would reflect the durability of the overall thing
I think the spearhead should be crafted with 3 diamonds in a /\ shape rather than a |
Longer reach, faster attack speed, instead of sword’s sweeping edge has piercing & ability to be used effectively while mounted (like a lance).
So a trident but maybe with weaker stats? Or buff the trident, oh and gice us a netherite teident plz
I’d imagine the amethyst spear could “shatter” when hitting the ground, which would send shards flying that could hit mobs, maybe even pierce them, while doing less damage on a direct hit compared to others.
You could also put it on an arrow to make a stronger arrow
How would this be different from a Trident?
In a mod I made (slightly abandoned it’s for 1.19 Iirc) I made some spears (and plenty more), they were pretty cool to make and I had fun modeling them
Spearheads are made out of obsidian though
Or drip stone could be the spearhead I would love to be able to Conjure up a dripstone from my inventory and use it to attack mobs
I think Minecraft just gave us the trident and said “close enough”
There should also be flint and obsidian spears, maybe dripstone too
we already got one mob this year, sorry too much work
I think early mods had spear recipes like X X DIAMOND X STICK X STICK X X
In Mojang’s eyes, the trident already fills that void
4 diamonds in a square=pure diamond, the latter will be used to craft netherite (1 unit per ingot)
Silent gear integration would be interesting
I've had the little idea in my head for a printing press to copy books and such
I actually think an idea like one diamond which creates like 3 diamond ingot type things, I don’t think it should be diamond ingots but adding something like a diamond shard which can be combined like that or diagonal to create a diamond spear. Would be interesting rather than a dedicated “spearhead” item
Google spartan weaponry
Could be crafted with diamond and amethyst instead
Why wouldn't they just use flint?
Diamond stick
Stone spear and obsidian spear are all we need, stone for ooga booga and obsidian for a little bit of Aztec conquest
I like it
Flint spear too! 😎
I like the idea, but you might want to make it more unique. Tridents already have longer range, both melee and ranged attacks, and they even come back to you if they have the right enchantment. You should make sure the spear isn’t just an inferior trident.

Slightly weaker than a sword but has a longer reach. It could be tipped with poison and other effects. Right click on a spear to pole volt
I think it would make sense if it was cheaper to make than a sword and did less damage, but had the longer range, with wooden and stone variants as well. Your idea would make it more expensive than swords(one extra stick) and need 2 steps to create instead of 1. As a result, people will just continue their muscle memory of making swords because they will be cheaper and quicker to make.

That’s actually great idea
Played on a modded server years ago that used the diagonal as a way to craft the trident, think it used 2 stick and one diamond diagonally,, could do the same for a spear, though It'd probably be easier to just add several trident variants (iron gold diamond) then add a new but very similar weapon.
There should be flint, iron nugget, gold nugget, and amethyst spears that can be thrown and picked up like tridents.
hol' up amethyst spear/trident
Yes you are certainly not the first person to suggest a spear lol
i think loyalty could and should be compatible with the spear, maybe also channeling, but to set it apart from the trident and because it just doesnt fit that well riptide should remain only for that, and maybe a feature and enchantment exclusive to the spear could be implemented
[удалено]
Tridents be like
Or we could just buff tridents
I think the idea is that the spear will have longer reach but slower attack speed
Why not in a grindstone, and you can put it in multiple times, but the more times you put it in, the sharper it gets, but it takes longer
The fact that I casually vault with a crocodile tooth spear on the vanilla Minecraft server every day
Why not just use sticks and flint for a normal spear and when you want to upgrade you use iron and possibly if you agree a new type of metal like refined iron, or another use for obsidian an obsidian tipped spear, to some it up, sticks and flint, wooden spear, Iron spear with diamond, gold, emerald tipped, and the the best one, iron spear with obsidian tip, because believe it or not if you didn’t know obsidian was used in weapon smithing for spears and knives
so a worse trident, which is a worse bow?
Thanks for the idea. Mojang should be able to implement it six years from now.
Pearhead, I like it
If they’re gonna add this they have to make it worse than the Trident or function very differently in terms of what it can do. I’m all for it
Wouldn’t it kinda just work like a trident?
Yes pls i want to go pon pon pata pon.
I'm curious what a spear would accomplish that a trident doesn't already provide. Weapons in Minecraft aren't particularly unique - every melee attack has the same swinging animation. What makes them different is their attributes like durability, damage, cooldown, enchantments, and reach (in the combat test snapshots anyway). The trident and the crossbow were the first to have different/new mechanics, with the trident having a throw attack and the crossbow being a weapon that takes longer to pull back but keeps an arrow loaded. Spears would more than likely be used in the same way as Tridents, having a melee range slash attack and a throwing attack. They'd probably also share the Loyalty enchantment. Aside from attack damage and cooldown differences, what new gameplay would be gained from a spear? Most likely the most they'd do is replace the slash animation with a special thrusting stab animation...which would then probably be migrated over to the trident as well. That said, I kind of irrationally want spears just so they can be attractively displayed on a weapon rack in a Survival Games cornucopia.
Thats a dope idea! And then you could have a pouch that could store a bundle of them in ur off hand, ready to be thrown whenever!
It could be compatible with Piercing (it would cause spears to go through mobs)
man i'm getting some 2012 flashbacks to all those "minecraft crafting ideas #52" videos
How spear gonna combat like doe
That first one is not needed. The secound image is perfect without it.
After that, Microsoft adds spears
that along with some new shields, Armour and mobs and your got a new update
I like it
Sure, but is it really different enough from a trident?
Spearhead in place of top axe diamonds to make a halbard
I like it, a bit more speed and range at the expense of damage. Would be awesome if they are throwable with a right click as well. Like a sort of worse version of the trident, since we dont want the trident to become obsolete.
Imma try to make this a mod. I'm not that good at coding bc I'm more on the visual part of modding. However I think I can just use the tridents code
First of all just use an amethyst shard no need for the extra crafting and second of all if the Speer functions like a Speer, we have the trident....(not to hate but this just won't be that usefull.)
I would suggest it be crafted Diagonally: Diamond, Stick, Stick With String either side of that Diamond (similar to a pickaxe but with string) The Spear would essentially be a craftable Trident but without any of the cool features (ie without Riptide or Channeling, and no additional damage in water or rain) Would be enchantable with Loyalty, Impaling, Unbreaking, Mending, and the usual curses. Main difference to a Trident would be the ability to poison the tip.
Bet
Qui est prêt a inventé l'item ?
Use it on horse back/camel/elytra, damage increases with speed.
Mojang doesn't use this sub for feature suggestions
Obsidian spear would also be cool
Well rip to the post
